This we have heard in many places. It's a blunt demonstration of power and brutality,” he said. US President Donald Trump seemed to back down on Wednesday on threats to intervene in Iran after Tehran made assurances that the killings of protesters would stop and that there would be no executions of protesters who have been arrested. Nationwide demonstrations erupted in late December over anger at Iran’s collapsing economy and was met with a brutal crackdown that is shaping up to be the most violent in recent history.
